  1. Myth of Iraqi Soverereignty. Iraq has no independence at all. The USA totally controls it.
  2. The myth of Zarqawi. Bush hyped him as a leader to gain prestige from his assassination. He was insignificant as proved by the escalating violence after his death.
  3. The myth of WMD (Weapon of Mass Destruction). Despite Rich Santorum’s lies, no WMDs were ever found. The only thing found were some inert, very old, shells found lying about in the desert.

• Meet the Neocons
• Have a look at 16 videos captured by members of the West Palm Beach-based Bravo Company, 1st Battalion, 124th Infantry Regiment. These are not particularly shocking, but they do show the callous disregard American soldiers have for Iraqi life.

• Online Newspapers: various newspapers around the world you can read. The more sources you access, the more balanced your picture will be. No source is unbiased. Aljazeera.net, the Arabic news service is available in English. Arabnews.com is a Saudi Arabian newspaper. News India-Times, Hindustan Times, India Newspaper, Hindu Online, Times of India are papers from India. India is a reasonably neutral country. Mario’s Global Links: gives links to news sources in just about every country on the planet. Mario’s Live TV: streaming video TV from all over the world. sianews.com bills itself as news from the right. CSPAN: is TV network, a radio station, and an Internet news service offering video and audio clips. They tend to report the raw news with a minimum of editorialising. Genesis Communication Network: right-wing talk radio. Out of Minnesota, but with a flavour of the south. Alex Jones Show is right wing crank, promoting armed insurrection.

• Cursor.org: relentlessly feisty media watchdog.
• rense.com: Jeff Rense has a radio program and website with tons of links to the strange and rarely reported underbelly of the Bush administration. The site masquerades as a crackpot UFO (Unidentified Flying Object) site. This way it has managed to snipe at Bush without being shut down as many of the more mainstream attacking sites have been. Mostly it is links to much more reputable sites, so you can use it just to find interesting stuff.
• Drudge Report: Breaking news often before it’s confirmed by anyone. Right wing bias, but reports more news than the regular media.
• Intel Dump: A weblog by Phil Carter, a former military officer gives military analysis of the war in Iraq.

• Michael Moore: an unlikely looking hero. He made the documentary Bowling For Columbine. He wants to brainstorm on how to take back the country from George W. Bush and friends.

• Thom Hartmann’s When Democracy Failed: The Warnings of History about the collapse of democracy in Germany and in America.
• Indymedia. A place to post your findings. Not edited.

• Misleading Statements: Congressmen Waxman’s list of Bush’s deceptive public statements.
• The Skolnick Report: a ton of dirt on the Bush family and their suspect dealings with the enemy. Skolnick merely reports Washington gossip. This is not a site for hard news, just a place to look for clues.

• 911-strike.com: call to action for Bush skullduggery surrounding 9/11 and Iraq.
• Organisations Protesting the Iraq War
• Bush admits there is no link between Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden, hence 9/11. Yet he dissembled so often most Americans were so confused they even thought they were one and the same person.
• George W. Bush’s Religious Beliefs. Bush was influenced my Wesleyan and Calvinist beliefs. Bush sometimes identifies as Epsicopalian, Methodist or Baptist. He had a religious experience in 1986 at age 39 with Billy Graham that convinced him to completely stop drinking. He also belongs to two Satanic cults, the Skull & Bones Society and the Bohemian Grove. He opens all his meeting with public prayer, and quotes the Bible extensively in his public speeches. His defence philosophy is certainly not inspired by the Sermon on the Mount.
• Top Ten Bush Scandals of 2003
• George McGovern (presidential candidate who lost to Nixon, and a major voice against the Vietnam War) spoke at the 2003-04-15 peace march in Missoula, Montana, USA. Unforunately the audio is no longer available. He did write an essay called The Reason Why on the Iraq war.

  I am sick and tired of old men dreaming up wars for young men to die in.
  ~ George McGovern (born: 1922-07-19 age: 89)

  I think it is sad, the country you and I have all believed all our lives was the greatest country on earth, is now regarded as a bully, is regarded as arrogant, is regarded as careless about war.
  ~ George McGovern (born: 1922-07-19 age: 89)

• WantToKnow.info: financial scandals.
• RightWeb: sort out the ties between various corporations and the political right.
• US debt accurate to the penny.
• People sometimes forget themselves and believe something George W. Bush says. Refresh your memory on his track record. He is a compulsive liar. He lies even when there is no possible benefit, just to keep his hand in. Has he ever told the plain unvarnished truth about anything more substantial than what he felt like eating for breakfast? I would like to compile a list. I have asked repeatedly for submissions and have never got a response.
• The Nation: e-magazine for the intellectual left.
• Eric Hufschmid: essays about Iraq with the theme of citizens taking responsibility to hold governments accountable. Also DVDs.
• Pipeline attacks
• UNESCO on the effects of 12 years of American sanction bombings. Australians report on the Basra water supply damage in the Iraq war. Damaging water supplies is against the Geneva convention. It targets kids specifically, since they die first of dehydration and from drinking from polluted puddles.

• It turns out we were all wrong, probably, in my judgment, and that is most disturbing - both America and Iraq learned that when you try too hard to control the picture of reality, you risk losing your grasp of it.
  ~ David Kay , Bush’s lead arms inspector in Iraq

• Iraq Veterans Against The War: listen to vets who saw with their own eyes what Bush is doing in Iraq.

• Now lets get to killing, and pumping that oil.
  ~ A. Republicunt , a poster in alt.politics.bush

  
  It is difficult to debate with folks like him in the alt.politics.bush newsgroup who view war as a sort of international-league football or paintball game. It has still not sunk in that wars primarily make kids and innocents suffer. Perhaps some photos will provide a tiny crack in the delusion.
• One of the amusing things is Muslim (not terrorist) investors withdrew $700 billion in investments from the USA out of fear Bush would would seize their assets. In other words, the US panic over 9/11 and its overreaction is part of the cause of its current economic woes and the spectacular success of the Islamic economies. Since 2004 the Saudi stock market has outperformed all others.
